The book presents a series of patient vignettes which highlight the profound effects that hormones can have on behavior. Key examples, observed by an experienced endocrinologist, illustrate the unusual and often bizarre effects of excess or deficient levels of hormones. Exposure to high amounts of male hormones can result in “steroid rage”, capital murder, indecent exposure, erotic dreams, and aggressive behavior. Excess thyroid or deficient adrenal function clearly altered the behavior of two presidents of the United States during times of crisis. Deficiency of the female hormone, estrogen, can result in severe hot flashes and compensatory behavioral strategies. Rare genetic mutations result in a mismatch between natal sex and gender. Verbatim interviews provide a unique facet to allow the reader to personally relate to difficult situations caused by disordered hormone levels. The book intends to provide insight about hormones and behavior for medical students and professionals and for those interested in powerful mediators of altered behavior.
